Correct Answer: 2 only ​. The Nizam of Arcot emerged as an independent state after the weakening of the Mughal empire in the first half of eighteenth century. It was a protectorate of the Hyderabad state, but it did not emerge out of it. So option A is wrong. Rohilkhand state arose in the modern districts of Rampur, Bareilly etc. under the declining Mughal empire in 1721. Ahmad Shah Durrani started invading India in 1748. Hence C is also wrong. Therefore, the correct answer is (b).
